  3. Slice 1 medium sized onion.
  4. Chop up 1 red chili pepper and 2 green chili peppers.

Let’s cook!
  1. Heat up a wok or a shallow skillet. Add 1-2 tbs vegetable oil.
  2. Cut 2-3 dried red peppers into pieces ½ inch long. Add them to the heated oil and stir-fry for 10-15 seconds before taking them out.
  3. Add the chicken.
  4. *tip: to prevent yourself from getting burned from flying oil, first place the chicken on the edge of the pot and then push it in with a wooden spoon.
  5. Stir the chicken with a wooden spoon a few times. Let it cook with the lid open for about 3-5 minutes.
  6. Turn the chicken over, give it a quick stir, and let it cook with the lid open for another 3-5 minutes.
  7. Add minced garlic and ginger and stir it for a minute.
  8. Add the potato chunks, the sauce, and 2½-3 cups of water. Cook for 10 minutes over high heat with the lid closed.
  9. Open the lid and add carrot and onion and continue cooking for another 10 minutes. Keep the lid open.
  10. Add soaked and drained starch noodles, sliced red pepper, green chili peppers, white mushrooms, and cucumber. Keep stirring for 7-10 minutes over high heat until the braising liquid has thickened and the noodles look translucent.
  11. Turn off the heat and add 2 ts ground black pepper and 1 tbs sesame oil. Mix it together
  12. Transfer to a serving plate and garnish with chopped green onions and sprinkle some sesame seeds over top before serving.
